Episode Notes
The New York Knicks stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals on the road, 105-95, coming back from 14 points down in the second half to beat the San Antonio Spurs. Mo called the game live on Prime Video and jumped straight on the podcast with Coach Brendan Suhr to break it all down.
They get into the De'Aaron Fox crunch-time disaster, why Dylan Harper should have been on the floor instead, how the Knicks are now in historically elite company on both ends of the floor, and what adjustments the Spurs have to make before Game 2.
Plus: Steph Curry just signed with Li-Ning for a reported $400M. Mo and Coach Brendan Suhr break down what it means for the sneaker industry, why it is a smarter move than people are giving him credit for, and why Steph might be building the next Jordan Brand.
